Hi everyone! This is Ana Isabel and this week I'm the facilitator of the Happy Flowers group 馃挭馃徏
The task of this week allowed us to have fun and create content in a new format: a radio program! 馃帣️馃摶 Mixing all the competencies and knowledge we have acquired, I think we have done it in a good and effective way.
At first, we divided the three activities into mini-groups to keep it easier. In pairs, we chose one of the options (no computer or devices, no or poor internet connection and non technological devices activities) and we worked on them. I have to say that maybe, the only concern we had was when doing the "non technological devices activity" due to the difficulty of showing and proofing how we did the activity, but this wasn't at all a big problem.
We had to think about doing them as if the activities were done in class, but this was not difficult at all because the platform "hour of code" allowed and provided us the information for doing it (the length of time, the technology used, the topics discussed, the required experience of the student's, etc). We have learn so much with this website and I'm sure we will use it in the future and we will put these activities on practice.
In a zoom meeting, we organised the activities and we created a shared document on Google Drive to create a "script" for our radio program. We tried to allocate all the ideas we had to say in the better way and, like this, we could have a nice final result, with a lot of collaboration and a notable participation of everyone on it.
We only felt a little frustration when editing the audio of the radio program, because we didn't know how to edit everyone at the same time and make it easier in this way 馃槵. We tried two or three tools in order to see how they worked, but finally we decided to do it with "Audacity". However, the problem was still there: we could edit together at the same time, but we quickly found a solution. We recorded ourselves at home and then we upload our audios to a shared folder in Google Drive and we numbered the audios as they were in order and it could be easier for the person who would edit the audio. In this case, Elena was the editor of the audio, and it was really easy for her to do it because of the great idea of putting the audios in order. Then, she also added a free license music for the audio with Filmora and... that's it, it was done! ✔️
We didn't find any real or mayor concern on doing this task, so I could say we are satisfied with this task.
I really hope it has been such a nice week for you too! 馃槈
